Regarding emergency ambulance fees for owners of collocated rental units

HB 4912 amends West Virginia's ambulance fee law to ensure equitable treatment for cabin and campsite rental owners. It specifies that owners of multiple cabins or campsites on a single property (under common ownership) pay only one emergency ambulance fee if they have fewer than 12 units, and no more than one fee per 12 units if they have 12 or more. This directly affects small cabin and campsite operators who previously faced disproportionate fees compared to hotels or motels. The bill clarifies that these fees must be applied fairly, matching the existing single-fee structure for larger lodging businesses. The change aims to prevent small lodging businesses from being charged fees that don't align with their scale.
